Brief introduction about newly joining members in the Advisory committee.
1 Ms Asuntha Charles from India Currently working in Bangladesh with Oxfam, a renowned funding agency. She is an international traveller, she brings a wealth of global perspectives and expertise. Her passion for strengthening our team aligns with our mission.

Considering the existing relationship with the funding agency, and it is also easy to convince the funders. we propose naming our initiative as NMCT Global Academy for Sustainability and Culture. Initially, the project will focus on offering certificate courses for one to two years, with the flexibility to expand to broader programs in the future.
Role and responsibilities assigned to the team
The project proposal will be prepared by Mr. Sandiyago and Shoby
Dr. Peng will assume the role of Rector or Principal, providing academic leadership and oversight. Other stakeholders will serve as sleeping partners, providing support and guidance as needed. Curriculum will be brainstormed by Shoby
We can explore a potential partnership with “Making More Health”, which is already active in African countries. By collaborating with them, we can leverage their existing presence and attract more participants to our NMCT Global Academy for Sustainability and Culture. This partnership can create a win-win situation, enhancing our visibility and appeal to African countries.
